Can one put a lock on the door for privacy?

yes. google search for a tear drop privacy lock. allows for the door to be locked, but also allows for a parent/home owner to slide open the lock from the outside in the event of an emergency. a bit expensive, but it works.

Not readily, think about how it functions, and that it slides OVER and PAST the wall/door frame. One could be devised (have already thought about 3 different ways to do that) but it's not a part of the door slider design or function. You could readily design some sort of tongue and slot sort of latch, and attach a lock, or devise any number of latches that the door itself would connect to, but this door-slider system is only designed to manage the movement of the door, nothing else. We are using ours for light and privacy, but a latch is not part of our needs, courtesy takes care of that. If you decide to do something like a latch (again, would not be difficult, just have to look at your installation environment), don't forget to allow for emergency access to the room from the outside in case of some accident or sickness on the other side of the door.

Yes. The mechanism is entirely on the inside of the door, so no one can tamper with it.

No. That is not an option on the door I have. The screen door is not solid enough and wouldn't offer the security needed.

We didn't like the style of the door and sent it back. I can't remember if it had a lock or not-sorry

Yes, you can lock the bldg. A lock is not built in, so you would have to use your own lock but the door handle does accommodate a lock.

Yes, but it is also easily UNLOCKED. I guess it's for a family environment that would respect somebody's need for privacy. But it does lock.

There is no locking ability to the one we purchased. You would have to do some sort of fabrication to the door with a hasp and padlock. The box material is fiberglass.

Whenever you shut the door, it's locked and a code is required to unlock it. You'd have to block the door open to keep it unlocked.

Yes you can lock the pet door so the dog cannot go out or other animals cannot come in.

It is not lockable, it has two latches on the door. You would need to add a separate hasp and lock.

No. The only purpose for the lock is to keep the door from being opened (either accidentally or anti-theft).

you can attach a padlock, wont make any difference as if someone wants it they will just walk off with it and break in to it at their leisure

Yes you can. But the locking hole is not very large, so a small lock is needed.

I gave this as a Christmas gift last year, and I don't remember if there was a way to put a lock on it or not.

Hello. You'll need to provide your own lock. Padlock, combination lock, etc.

You need to lock the door. Well made and very pleased with it. They do sell them without locks for your info.

No. The doors do not have a lock. They only have magnets to keep the doors closed tight.
